This is a special Ask TheHorse Live bonus episode, revisiting our conversation with Dr. Steve Adair on the topic of groundwork and stretching exercises for horses with osteoarthritis.
Groundwork and stretching exercises can help horses build correct muscle and become more limber. Steve Adair, MS, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, ACVSMR, of the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville, explains how to implement these into your horse’s daily routine.
This podcast is an excerpt of our Ask TheHorse Live Q&A, “Equine Joint Care Strategies.” Listen to the full recording here: https://thehorse.com/1128717/equine-joint-care-strategies/.
About the Expert:
Steve Adair, MS, DVM, Dipl. ACVS, ACVSMR, earned his veterinary degree from Auburn University, after which he spent two years in private equine practice and completed a surgery residency at the University of Tennessee (UT). He is a professor in the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine at the UT Knoxville and is director of the Equine Performance Medicine and Rehabilitation Center. Besides his board certifications in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (charter member of the latter), Adair is certified in animal chiropractic by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association and is a certified equine rehabilitation practitioner. His primary research areas include equine musculoskeletal conditions, regenerative medicine and equine rehabilitation.

In this episode of the Practical Horseman Podcast, sponsored by Tribute Equine Nutrition, we talk to Will Coleman, this spring’s winner of the Defender Kentucky CCI5* and team bronze medalist from the summer FEI Eventing World Championships in Aachen, Germany.
In Aachen, Coleman and Diabolo, a 14-year-old Holsteiner owned by the Diabolo Group, were also the highest-placed U.S. pair in fourth individually. Shortly after that result, Coleman went back overseas with Very Dignified to finish seventh in the Defender Burghley CCI5*, and after he returned home from that adventure, he rode Box Como to an Advanced-level win at The Fork International Three-Day Event in Tryon, North Carolina.
In this podcast, Coleman tells us about his very busy—and successful—spring and summer seasons, how he balances family life with an upper-level eventing string, why he loves pure show jumping, and how he thinks horses and humans are positive influences on each other’s lives.

Solange dives into how larger chests affect rider balance, hand position, and upper body stability, and offers concrete, body-aware strategies to ride with your anatomy instead of against it. She’s joined by longtime student and assistant Aurora, who shares how being full-chested has shaped her own position, confidence, and coaching. Solange then answers a listener question about staying on when a horse spins, breaking down the mechanics behind those sudden “salad spinner” moments and giving riders targeted homework to build spin-proof stability through better turning, torso position, and seat use.

In this episode of the Dressage Today Podcast, sponsored by KPP and Tribute Equine Nutrition, Aviva and Stephany interview USEF “r” Technical Delegate from Eastern Pennsylvania Jen Koch, the latest Unsung Hero in their ongoing series.
Jen represents the kind of quiet, steadfast leadership that keeps dressage thriving behind the scenes through her professionalism, deep knowledge of rules and her genuine desire to help riders have positive, fair experiences in the competition environment. But what makes her truly extraordinary is the way she shows up for people and for the sport—consistently, generously and without ever seeking recognition.
Jen’s service extends far beyond helping individuals, and her commitment to youth development is unmatched. As president of the Youth Dressage FUNdation, she helps run the Region 1 Youth Dressage Team Challenge every year in Virginia. She has also served on the USDF National Youth Programs Committee, held multiple USDF Group Membership Organization leadership roles, and currently serves on the Board of Trustees of her local horse park.
Jen works tirelessly to create opportunities for young riders, strengthen community programs, and ensure the future of dressage is bright, inclusive and well-supported. This would be impressive on its own—but she does it all while working full-time as a teacher and pursuing her master’s degree. We loved talking with Jen, and we know you will enjoy learning more about her.
In this episode, Aviva and Stephany also catch up on what’s been going on in their lives, and Aviva answers a new Ask the L question from Heather about virtual showing. Aviva details her experiences with virtual showing from a judge’s point of view and discusses how various groups do it differently.
